Colli Tortonesi Rosso DOC by OltreTorrente Winery is a natural red wine with rich red and black fruit, which will conquer even the most demanding. Chiara Penati and Michele Conoscente are raising their two children amongst the vineyards, barrels, and tanks, giving another weight to the concept “family winery”. The relatively new (only 10 years old) winery on Tortona Hills in Piedmont is the epitome of a boutique winery. The family owns only 7 hectares of old vineyards and makes a few bottles of only 4 labels. Imagine that in total they do not exceed 15,000 bottles. Mild natural winemaking comes to emphasize the concentration offered by the old vines and the unique character of the terroir. Colli Tortonesi Rosso DOC by OltreTorrente Winery is a blend of Barbera (90%) and Dolcetto (10%) from 40-year-old vines. The blend matures for 8 months in concrete tanks and for 6 months in the bottle. The result is juicy and intense, with impressive fruit purity. Enjoy Rosso Colli Tortonesi DOC by OltreTorrente winery, slightly chilled, accompanied by all kinds of snacks or a classic pizza Margherita. -
The Port is by difinition, generous and full-bodied wine, produced in the region Douro- the demarcated region of the world's oldest wines. Made from grapes traditionally used in the region, its wine making process is characterized by adding brandy to the wine in full fermentation. This type of port that inspires moments and new forms of consumption, which we recommend be served as Port Tonic. Classic serving would be as a chilled aperitif, but also you could be adventurous and make a ''Caipi Royal'' or just serve it on the rocks with an orange slice. -
From the start, Felipe Rutini was guided by the motto “Labor and perseverance.” This attitude shaped the development of his wines, which became synonymous with superlative quality. Following his innovative spirit, in 1925 the winery began to plant vines in the Uco Valley. Uco Valley vineyards comprise over 400 hectares at an altitude of between 1,050 and 1,200 meters above sea level. An additional 120 hectares of fields that are currently being planted with vines will expand the winery’s possibilities for producing unique wines that are carefully tended to and nurtured from the very beginning. Very promising wines that need that leap of faith due to price. I suppose Mariano Di Paola being within the best 30 best winemakers in the world may have something to do with it... We do recomend it, just not everyday! -

This excellent Chablis has a fine balance of ripe fruit and thrilling acidity. With a great length on the finish, it will develop with age in the cellar if you can keep your hands off it. Sourced from three parcels of vines in different sectors of the appellation; Les Pargues towards the village of Préhy, Les Cartes between the premiers crus of Vaillons and Montmains where the vines are 60 years old and Bas de Chapelots just below Montée de Tonnerre. Samuel Billaud is one of Chablis’ greatest winemakers. For twenty years he was responsible for the superb quality of wine at the family estate, Domaine Billaud-Simon, before setting up his own winery in 2009, where he produces a range of wines from several of the region’s finest sites. In 2014 he recovered his share of the Billaud-Simon vines which he now vinifies and bottles under his own name. -
At barely 30 years old, Stephane Riffault (Claude’s son and now owner of the estate) is turning out Sancerre bottlings that are the envy of many producers twice his age. As David Schildknecht put it, “make no mistake: this address in the hamlet of Maison Salle (Sury-en-Vaux) is now one of the five or six most exciting estates in the Sancerre appellation.” Given that Stephane’s holdings represent 4 tenths of 1 percent of the appellation, this kid is clearly doing something right. Based in the village of Sury-en-Vaux, the domaine works 33 different parcels in 6 different lieu-dits spread across 4 villages. The 13.5 hectares of vines are plowed and no synthetic material is used. Unlike most Sancerre producers, the entire harvest is carried out by hand and an extensive sorting takes place before the grapes are crushed. Stephane’s wife, Benedicte, leads the harvest team while Stephane manages the sorting and press during harvest. Most of the domaine’s holdings are planted on the soft limestone soil called Terres Blanches with some parcels on calliottes and silex. Small, judicious uses of oak help to add length to the already precise and vertical bottling. All of the parcels are vilified separately and with the exception of the rose, all the wines are bottled unfiltered. Having studied and worked in Burgundy (and closely with Olivier Leflaive), it’s easy to see the Burgundian influence in Stephane’s wines. The mastery of minerality standing shoulder-height with the wood is rarely duplicated in Sancerre. Regardless of the exposition of his parcels (many are south-facing), Riffault’s wines are always crisp and high-cut with a jeweled sort of delineation that speaks to the precision and attention these wines get. These are not your daddy’s (or his daddy’s) Sancerres. -

Ricardo Alves and Frederico Machado visited Bemposta for the first time together in 2017. They were on the Portuguese back roads in the Parque Natural das Arribas do Douro, with its wealth of ancient, indigenous and largely forgotten grapevines chaotically perched on the extreme slopes on the Douro river gorge, when they came upon the perfect location for their life project, the place to which they would commit their youth. They set out to rediscover and revitalize an ancient wine culture whose local home winegrowers have just barely kept the faint bloodline of their vinous history from extinction. Trás-os-Montes is a large, but not too well known, wine region of north eastern Portugal (Translation: behind the Mountains), is where the Arribas Wine Company are based and both are very passionate have been making some very interesting wines. Saroto Tinto is made from a small, old parcel of vines comprised of old-fashioned red and white Douro varieties. The resultant wine is full of wild forest fruit, lots of berries with a kick of natural sourness. Plenty of fresh acidity adds juiciness and balances the rustic, grippy tannins, making for quite a light red. Earthy minerality adds extra complexity and the finish is long and moreish. Its bottled unfined and unfiltered so may have natural sediment in the bottle. -
Like every vintage, the Grüner Veltliner Domain Gobelsburg is the benchmark wine in this price range, balanced, juicy and delicate, that's how Veltliner is fun. Delicate spice on the nose with some Boskop apple, Williams pear and herbaceous hints of thyme and mint. On the palate a rather soft texture, gentle fruit with a nice acidic accompaniment, delicately piquant pepper, then some minerality comes through. Again one of the most harmonious entry-level Veltliners of this vintage! -
The Seghesio family began making wine in California in 1895 when Edoardo Seghesio planted Zinfandel vines in Alexander Valley. Over the intervening years the third generation of the family, Pete Seghesio and his cousin Ted Seghesio, established the estate as a top producer of Californian Zinfandel. Today the winery has 120 hectares of vineyards which are all farmed sustainably in the appellations of Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley. The vines for this bottling come from estate vineyards in Dry Creek and Alexander Valley with careful management of yields to ensure excellent quality. The robust flavour profile makes this a great partner for barbecued meats and steak, although it can also be kept in the cellar for another few years. -
Bodegas Hermanos de Peciña is firmly planted in the old school camp. Although the estate was started only in 1992, its founder, Pedro Peciña had worked for over 20 years prior to that as the head agronomist for La Rioja Alta, learning all facets of production and especially the planting and managing of all the estate’s vineyards. The Peciña winery and vineyards are located in San Vicente, which while technically in the Rioja Alta sub-zone, is not in the vicinity of Haro where most of the other traditional Rioja houses have their cellars. Rather it is located on the northeast side of the Ebro river near the border of the Basque Alavesa zone. These vineyards - many 40 to 60 years old - are actually some of the finest in the appellation as they fall at the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains at an average of 500 meters, and offer hillside expositions as well as complex and diverse soils. Many of Peciña’s most prized vineyards are actually on north facing slopes which Pedro feels helps give the wines good freshness and delineation. Serve with aperitif, Charcuterie, Cured cheeses, Smoked foods -
